Mr Wilson, 22 Jun 04, VI. 0

09/11/16

Purpose

Summarize the UA ITS Task Force's efforts
leading to the approved Training Strategy

Provide an overview of the CG, TRADOC
approved UA institutional training strategy

Discuss the way ahead for implementation
of the approved Training Strategy

CSA Comments From OF Institution
Training Strategy RRC - 29 May 03

1. Ideal strategy is to train individual through Bn/Bde collects
level in simultaneous multi-echelon manner, capping the
training period with a CTC rotation and handing over to
FORSCOM a C2-level trained unit. How can the institution hel
enable this?

2. One of our courses of action needs to account for the
institution training from individual through complete collectiv
level.

3. SoS requires greater competency and higher collective
capability. Units can't do it on their own, so how does the
institution enable SoS NET?

Tasking : Establish a Task Force to develop UA ITS

CG Guidance

(5 Nov 03)

Each COA will be based on the "conversion" of an
existing brigade

Focus on where you do it and under who's control

Converting unit must remain at 100% strength during
equipment turn-in, and draw down only as equipment
is turned in

Look at turning in equipment during the last 6
months of its employment window

After turn-in, the unit will begin to reorganize

Revise COA 3 ...

- Unit personnel will PCS to home-station, then unit
move conducted to TRADOC UA training site

- Don't create another full scale CTC

Revised COAs

(Based upon CG's Guidance)

COA IV- A : Convert a brigade at home station under
FORSCOM C2 with TRADOC support for NET/NOT and crew
level training.

COA 3V : Convert brigade at home station
and train to UA level at an FCS training
site under TRADOC C2.

COA 4V : Convert a brigade at home station under
FORSCOM C2 with TRADOC support for NET/NOT through

company level training.

COA 3V

Advantages

* Delivers an operational UA to
FORSCOM

* Strengthens the link between the
institution and operational units

* Enables spiral change within the
Army

* Increased efficiency and
standardization of training

* Minimizes distractions on
converting unit

* Limited impacts on other units for
training support

Disadvantages

* Lengthy family separation

* Increases Institutional Army
force structure

* Split C2 during conversion period

Mitigation

* Reduce Institutional force structure increases through
contracting

* Training site selection could reduce facilities cost

Conclusion

*CG f TRADOC approved COA 3V: Convert
brigade at home station and train to UA
level at an FCS training site under
TRADOC C2.

• Way Ahead

-Transition overall lead to Futures
